Today, Tyler Woods, PhD, talks about your inner critic as well as your inner bully. Learn the difference between the inner critic and the inner bully. Learn how the inner critic is attempting in her own dysfunctional way to self-protect, and my inner bully is just downright abusive. The inner bully is like the inner critic on steroids! The inner critic uses her misguided attempts to help, while the inner bully paralyses and erodes self-worth. Learn the difference between the two, and how you can tame the critic and rid the bully.
